Found in the writings of the great sages who discovered the meaning of life, among whom is the Dalai Lama.
- Be good whenever you can – that is, all the time.
- Well-being comes from action, not prayer.
- Arrogance can never be justified; it is the result of low self-esteem or temporary and superficial success.
- When someone feels that everything in his life is going wrong, it means that something wonderful is about to happen.
- People exist to be loved, objects exist to be used; the world is in chaos because these things are done upside down.
- The idea of compassion has nothing to do with religion, it is a universal concept; compassion is the only condition for the survival of the human species.
- If you can help, you should do so; if you can’t, at least don’t hurt.
- Every day is a birthday and no day is more special than another; every day you wake up in the morning, everything is fresh and new and your only goal for that day would be for it to teach you something important.
- The purpose of life is happiness.
- Maintaining a positive attitude towards life can always be satisfied even in the most unfavorable circumstances.
- Our enemies actually give us an excellent opportunity to practice patience, perseverance, and compassion.
- The only religion is to have a good heart.
- We must maintain control over technology and never allow ourselves to become its slaves.
- Great changes always start with individuals; the scaffold of peace in the world is the inner calm and peace that we could find in each of us; each of us can make this contribution.
- Each of us has the responsibility of all humanity, and this should be the essence of our religion; we do not need complicated temples or philosophies, our mind and heart are our temples, and our philosophy is goodness.
These principles have guided and inspired me at the same time throughout my life.
